  • The last five times France reached the knockout stage, they at least reached the semi-finals.
  • Karim Benzema has scored nine goals in his last eight appearances for France.
  • Mathieu Valbuena has created six goalscoring chances for France in their two games so far. He created more goalscoring chances than any other player in the French top flight during 2013-14 (90).
